SEASON SCHEDULE | RESULTS

Disclaimer: “GDT may not be 100% accurate. I got the line combos from your mom. I used to have Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, and an undercover concession worker in each arena, but this **** costs money. I will admit that my pet otter is using all up that money on his worsening opium problem. I try to not be an enabler, but I haven't had a sea urchin problem in months. Then I thought, why should I pay all this money and have a sea urchin problem to appease fans of random teams that I don't even care about anyway? Unless you are willing to take a bunch of sea urchins off of my hands, don't ***** if I get the lines wrong.” - BF​

Kings will handedly win this. And then in their next meeting the Oilers will eliminate the Kings from the playoffs.

 

[drugold]

I predict Ryan Smyth to score with a wrap a round.

Edit, he's not even in the starting lineup?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Deja lose.

 

[DocWest]

Hmmm, garbage team that we should beat. That means either we win by a pube or we embarrass ourselves and watch Yakupov re-live the greatest hockey moment of his life and slide across our logo.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Remember when Esa Tikkanen or Glenn Anderson were guaranteed to score a goal any time the Kings played the Oilers? I'm glad those days are behind us.

 

[rajuabju]

Dear Kings,

Please win.

 

[jimmy1100]

Stopped by for the Superstition-O-Meter - left disappointed.

Surely tonight's game must still have the computers crunching numbers.

Will return later...

 

[theMajor]

had two friends ask me if I wanted their tickets to this game but since its month's end I had to decline. knowing this, the Kings will blow them out. 5-1 Win

 

[KingsKnight]

Updating the lines I noticed that since the last game the Oilers played, Purcell was moved from the top line to the fourth, and Schultz was moved from top D pair to scratch. Wonder if news is incoming on those guys. Or maybe they're just protecting their tradeable assets.

supposedly schultz has been really bad lately. he was getting booed by the end of their last home game, against the sens, when he ended up a -3. and mclellan roasted him in the media afterward.

i know they just called up a forward from the AHL, too. Jujhar Khaira. i think he's a C but not sure. and not sure whether he'd be playing or not.

 

[theMajor]

Schultz was BRUTAL against Ottowa. TMac absolutely tore him up in the post-game presser so Im not surprised that he's scratched

Just waiting on a little bit of goalie and ref news before we break the internet

 

[Omni Owl]

So no RNH for this one? Was supposed to go to this one tonight but **** fell through :|

 

[YP44]

So no RNH for this one? Was supposed to go to this one tonight but **** fell through :|

he has been out for a while, and is supposed to be out for a while

 

[LAKings88]

Just win. Anh and SJ will not lose for the rest of the year. Need these points please.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Wasn't as bad as I thought, especially since they respect us enough to start Talbot!

 

[YP44]

Both of Edmonton's goalies are back ups..please adjust this not low enough

 

[jimmy1100]

Just waiting on a little bit of goalie and ref news before we break the internet

And well worth the wait!

 

[Buddy The Elf]

I was at the game versus the Oilers earlier this year where Shore scored in the last few minutes to win the game. Naturally, they should win again. That's gamblers accuracy!

 

[The Pale King]

McDavid's first game against the Kings, should be fun.

Looking back, it really is incredible that MacTavish said Schultz had Norris potential when they signed him. Talk about setting a guy up for failure. Sutter in the past week has just now mentioned Doughty being Norris worthy for the first time. At least that I remember hearing of.

edit: Nvm. Forgot about that Kingspiracy already. Too many to keep track of.

 

[MynameisKing]

FRANCHISE FOLDS TONIGHT? Whoa! That's such an embarrassing loss that we go from 1st in Pacific to folding the franchise within a few months of the playoffs and send the roster out into a dispersal draft. Implode the Staples Center. Lakers, Clippers, & Sparks be damned! It will be the mother of all losses tonight!

[The Pale King]

Wow. How could I forget? For some reason I thought he was already hurt when we played them. I guess I was thinking about the last time around.
